What Is the Empyrean Series About?

Before diving into the series, a friend recommended "Fourth Wing" to me, describing it as "Like the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." While this comparison holds true in the early stages, the narrative soon evolves into something reminiscent of the Twilight series, delving deep into a magical, fantasy romance with graphic details.

The series follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman coerced by her formidable mother into attending a perilous dragon riders' academy. As Violet navigates her vulnerabilities and strives to survive, she grapples with complex feelings toward her mother, a former friend, and a boy she believes wishes her harm. Amidst this, deeper mysteries unfold involving the dragons and her world, positioning Violet at the epicenter of a grand, romantic adventure.
